Buddy was my friend from early childhood as neighbors on Jackson Road, through Victory School and Ashley High and as young adult crazies in the 70's and early 80's in Charlotte, playing golf and participating in the original days of the Cold Beer Opens. What fun we had. Thank goodness we had recently reconnected... unbelieveably it had been 27 years. So glad I had that opportunity. He was one of a kind and will be missed. My sympathies to Martha and his extended family and friends.

Buddy will be missed - he was one of my father's best friends and visited him often before he died in September - he made my dad laugh so hard. What a true and wonderful friend.

I am so sorry to hear of Buddy's passing. Having known Buddy for most of my life, I know he was always having fun, either by playing golf, or just being around his friends and co-workers.
God Bless.

I had not seen Buddy since high school. I remember playing basketball with him over at St. Michael's on the outdoor courts. He was a really good athlete and he was just a really nice guy. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
